Hey Guys...New to the forum....Just picked up a 2000 F150 XLT super cab with a 5.4V8 last night and had a question....

The door locks will not open of lock with the switch on Driver or passanger door....you have to manually open handle to unlock or lock.....when you hit the unlock/lock switch on both doors...you can hear the lock trying to open....but it never will push the (small round thingy that go's up or down)up or down.....you can ALSO hear a clicking sound under the dash ...maybe behind the radio???(in the dash) when you hit the lock????....


My thoughts is that both switches and both Acuators did not go out at the same time..........so I am hoping that it is the relay (maybe that is what is clicking under the dash) hand it has gone out????


what do you guys think????.....am I on the right path???.....and if it is NOT the clicking behind the radio....where is this relay???


my mirrors..driver or pass. do not work either?....I get nothing with them.....no clicking or movement....fuse?

Thanks,

Athens

 

I am new to this forum too and I am surprised no one has replied to your question. I think you should look to see if there are connectors for the door wires by the hinges. If there are I would say disconnect them and clean them with contact cleaner. Other then that I would try to google wiring diagrams and see how it is wired. That's my 2 cents. Hope you get it figured out.

 

I would also say take the switchs apart and use and electrical contact cleaner. wait till its completely dry and then reassemble and try it. GL

 

The driver switch is super prone to going bad. I would start there.
